There is a newer version of the New York Consolidated Laws
2006 New York Code - Disposition Of Civil Penalties.
§ 8-127 Disposition of civil penalties. a. Any civil penalties recovered pursuant to this chapter shall be paid into the general fund of the city. b. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, where an action or proceeding is commenced against a city agency for the enforcement of a final order issued by the commission pursuant to section 8-120 of the code after a finding that such agency has engaged in an unlawful discriminatory practice and in such action or proceeding civil penalties are sought for violation of such order, any civil penalties which are imposed by the court against such agency shall be budgeted in a separate account.

Funds in such account shall not be used to support or benefit the commission. The disposition of such funds shall be under the direction of the mayor.
